    As irritating as the addition of the stars are, the different rendition of Miss Liberty with her overly large melon was even worse.

    ahhhhhhhhaaaa .......I like that "overly large melon" I own two 1838-O No stars dimes........I don't know why. I guess I just could not make up my mind which was nicer. Both PCGS EF 45

    The question is, after doing a No Stars Seated dollar in 1836 and the No Stars Seated half dime and dime in 1837, why did they add stars to the Seated quarter of 1838 after already shipping No Stars half dime and dime dies to New Oreleans?

    I always liked the no stars design better myself.
